Those Tricky Broncos

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; They leapfrogged us!
ESPN just reported this:
The Bronco's gave up Deltha O'neil, their first round and more for the Bengals first rounder at #17.
Man, that would've been primo for the Saints.
I'm looking all over the place trying ...

In one fell swoop Friday, the Bengals got a Pro Bowl cornerback and picked up a fourth-rounder that gives them six players in the first 117 selections of the April 24-25 NFL Draft.

Late Thursday night, Cincinnati completed a trade with Denver in which they swapped first-round picks with the Broncos giving the Bengals cornerback Deltha OÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢Neal and a fourth-rounder to move up from No. 24 to No. 17 in the first round. Cincinnati, which picks 114th in the fourth round, now goes again 15 minutes later with DenverÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s 117th pick.

The Bengals did indeed end up getting a first-round cornerback out of this draft, but it turns out to be OÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢Neal, 27, the 15th pick in the 2000 draft who went to the Pro Bowl following the 2001 season. Cincinnati had just 52 NFL starts at cornerback before the trade, but OÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢Neal brings them 36 more. ...More...

Yeah, would have been nice for us. But it also helps as far as the draft is concerned. Maybe New England or Dallas will trade ahead of Denver to get a RB. The odds of us getting our man are looking better.
